Defence Lab/DNA-- Good Enough for Batman...

Formerly known as KFM (or the Keysi Fighting Method), DNA is a newer system that has elements in common with both FMA and Systema. If you have seen the Dark Knight series of Batman movies, or recent films with Liam Neeson or even the new Bond movies, then you have seen DNA in action, as founder Andy Norman has been called upon to use his system as the basis for fight choreography in Hollywood quite a bit over the last several years.

Defence Lab Buffalo, the local DNA representatives, put on an awesome two-hour seminar tonight at Horizon Martial Arts in West Seneca. Even though my sons and I could only train for the second hour (I had a short gig that started at the same time as the workshop), it was well worth our time and money. They have some very interesting concepts that are based on pretty natural, "gross motor" type of movements. I'd definitely like to get a closer look at this system. Watch the blog for future, more in-depth posts on this fascinating style. If you get a chance, check-out defencelab.com, or defencelabbuffalo.com for more info...
